Spelling rules
• We form the past simple of regular verbs by adding -ed:
act – acted pass – passed start – started
• If a verb ends in + -e, we just add -d:
explore – explored move – moved survive – survived
• If the verb ends in a consonant + -y, the ending is -ied:
identify – identified study – studied
• If a one-syllable verb ends in consonant + vowel + consonant, we usually
double the final consonant:
grab – grabbed stop – stopped
• The same happens with verbs with more than one syllable ending in consonant + vowel
+ consonant if the last syllable is stressed.
prefer – preferred travel – travelled

For one- or two-syllable adjectives ending in -y, we omit -y and dry – the driest
add -iest. heavy – the heaviest

Zero conditional
• We use zero conditional sentences to talk about the consequences of things.
If I'm tired, I go to bed.
If you're hungry, have a snack.
• The things we talk about can be things that happen generally.
If my dog's happy, he wags his tail.
If this light comes on, you need to charge the battery.
If I don't understand something, I ask my teacher.
• We also use the zero conditional to talk about things that may happen in the future.

If you see my brother, tell him to call me.
If you have any questions, just ask.

• The conditional part has if and the present simple. We use the present simple in the
conditional clause both for things that happen generally and for things that may happen in
the future.
If people eat too much, they get fat. (generally)
If you don't water plants, they die. (generally)
If you see Mum, give this to her. (future)
If it doesn't work the first time, try again (future)
• The main clause represents the consequence. If we are talking about things that happen
generally, we use the present simple in the main clause and we can use when instead of if.
If people eat too much, they get fat.
If you give my dog biscuits, she doesn't eat them.
If you press this button, what happens?
When I'm tired, I have a rest.
• If we are talking about things that may happen in the future, we use the imperative.
If you see Mum, give this to her.
If you come in winter, don't forget to bring a warm coat.
• For the future, when means that we know the thing will happen, while if means we aren’t
sure.
If you see my sister, ... (Maybe you will see her)
When you see my sister, ... (I know you will see her)
• We can also put the main clause first. If we do that, we generally don’t use a comma.
